How Public Is the Web?: Robots, Access, and Scholarly Communication.
Snyder, Herbert; Rosenbaum, Howard
Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, v35 p453-62 1998
Examines the use of Robot Exclusion Protocol (REP) to restrict the access of search engine robots to 10 major United States university Web sites. An analysis of Web site searching and interviews with Web server administrators shows that the decision to use this procedure is largely technical and is typically made by the Web server administrator. Discusses implications. (Author/AEF)
